My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Bananas Foster—a bright, affectionate, and spirited little pup who is ready to find his forever home. He has been an absolute pleasure in foster care, and everyone is hoping he’ll be welcomed into a loving family just in time for the holidays.💛

Bananas is potty trained and understands the routine once he’s shown which door to wait by. He’s currently learning his basic commands and, being very treat motivated, is eager to keep improving.

This sweet boy loves playtime, especially a good ball-throwing session. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs and currently lives with an energetic 5-year-old Golden Retriever. Despite his small size (21 lbs to her 65 lbs), he keeps up perfectly—sharing toys, enjoying playful wrestling, taking naps together, and exchanging endless puppy kisses. Their adorable dynamic could easily be a YouTube sensation.

Bananas is also gentle and loving with children and enjoys cuddles, pets, and cozy nap time with his human friends. He’s a Velcro pup who forms strong bonds and loves staying close, but he’s equally excited for new adventures and outings.

Playful, cuddly, smart, and resilient, Bananas Foster is ready to bring joy, laughter, and big love to the lucky family who chooses him.
